Two things:
1. Graham Harrell emailed us yesterday and let us know he was upset about the meme being distributed that he “Hates Contact”. Apparently this isn’t true. He did say he thought it dragged in parts and the end where all she finds is her dad pissed him off quite a bit. Thanks Graham for clarifying.
2. I recalled Mike being upset about the game in Austin last year, but the details were fuzzy, so I dug this up to refresh my memory.
Oh yeah. Dude was pissed. I had sorta forgotten about that. As if we needed any more logs on the fire of Jihad this Saturday. This is the guy who usually talks about Daniel Boone or Vikings after a game, not personally eviscerating every official crew member with a katana. Though he’d probably leave an origami unicorn or something in their locker if he did. I’m just speculating there, it could just as easily be a dragon or a merman.
Anyway, the point is Leach has been working this angle for awhile now, and while I don’t usually enter into Eyes’ conspiracy theories or fits of apoplexy regarding officiating in general, I’m fully prepared to see some weird shit go down Saturday night. You should be too. Though it is reassuring that the crew that officiated the TX/OU game (unsubstantiated rumor) might be on deck. I know I feel better.

Fantastic write-up. I always thought Marlon ran harder than people gave him credit for. His freshman year, it seemed like time & again he was grabbed as soon as he got the pitch or the handoff but managed to turn 3-5 yard losses into one yard gains.
He never had the breakaway speed or top-notch elusiveness

As suspected a tough game in the second half of a back to back results in a loss for the Spurs. Might as well make it a law of physics.

Pete is right about Marlon’s running style, Lucky needed to have the ball in space to be effective at all. I think he had a nice career overall though, keep in mind he did have those injury issues his senior year.

Leach told Mack as they shook hands after last year’s game that he was going to go off on the officials in order to condition them for the Raiders’ upcoming game with OU, and told Mack to let his players know it was not meant as an insult to them. It was purely for show.

meme is up there with ‘preggers’ or ’steven’ in my book. The word really needs to be extinguished. We’ll just have to circulate a meme with the sole intent of eradicating memes altogether.
I remember the first time I heard it while working at Citysearch in 1995 from the content editor there and the collective response was “Do you know how we know you’re gay?”. That bastard apparently stuck with it and 13 years letter we have a neologistic epidemic.

Conspiracy aside, there is such a thing as incompetent officials. Those at the OU-TX game this year and Pac-10 refs (take your pick) come to mind.

============================================
Yes. I am told that the Richins crew is made up of either former or future NFL officials, and is considered by the Big 12 as a “super crew”, which is apparently why the’ve been assigned these high-profile games.
Hopefully, they’ll display a level of competency this saturday that was not evident in their performance in Dallas.

Doperbo is a hopeless fiend of cultural repitition. He roosts in the shadows, like a grizzly bear with a bowie knife, or steven with an idea, waiting for the right moment to lunge out and mock it relentlessly.
Speaking of relentless mocking, I see that CloseToJumping has been added to the list of Barkers. I’m longing for his scribe like a fat woman dreams of ranch dressing and cheese. And, speaking of cheese, he should be punished for his abscence by having to be called ‘echeese’ for at least 180 days.

Still, Monet is more widely known among the public not familiar with their Impressionist artists.
